| In good faith, I believe you that this is the case in, at least, most of the cases of imprisoned Pals in Israel. But I guess the problem #2 Pali was referring to is not so much to be permitted to visit the prison in question as such, but rather to be permitted to enter Israel so that they than can go and visit the prisoner in the Israeli prison. that is in many cases denied on the basis of "security concerns". BTW, even if the Red Cross would be allowed to visit Shalit, it would not be allowed to talk about it in any way, not even about whether he is still alive or not.But surely, if he is still alive it would be more than appropriate to let him have contact with the outer world through visits of the Red Cross. But than the other question would be (at least for Hamas), whether the IDF could withstand the temptation to track the Red Cross visitors in order to pin down Shalit`s location. quite paranoid situation really |
